If you’re one of the millions of people who suffer from Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS), you know how debilitating flare-ups can be. At Motus Integrative Health, we believe in empowering our patients with knowledge and resources to reclaim their health. Today, we’ll share ten natural ways to avoid IBS flare-ups, backed by medical insights, dietary guidance, and exercise recommendations.
Understanding the underlying causes of Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) is a critical step towards effective management. While the exact cause is undetermined, several factors are believed to play roles, including muscle contractions in the intestine, nervous system abnormalities, severe infection, and changes in gut microbes (bacteria in the digestive tract). Stress and changes in diet are also known triggers.
IBS often triggers uncomfortable symptoms like abdominal pain, bloating, gas, diarrhea, or constipation. These symptoms can be triggered by many factors, such as stress, hormonal changes, certain medications, and specific foods. Both lifestyle changes and medical treatment can help manage IBS symptoms, reduce flare-ups, and improve overall quality of life.
